Re: The Pitchfork News/reviews thread

The best part of the entire Pitchfork review of the new Silversun album is that the entire first paragraph was trying to hammer home some deep point about the band... by using a misinterpreted lyric from Lazy Eye. He has since gone back and altered it (although it still isn't accurate), but it doesn't make any sense.

Re: The Pitchfork News/reviews thread

My early take: they're still embarrassed for whiffing so badly on Discovery in 2001 (Schreiber himself wrote that review, too), and they're overcompensating now. They want to hedge their critical stance in the event that the current cheese wave finds a permanent place in the cultural firmament.

I wouldn't put Daft Punk in my top ten list for the 00s, but Pitchfork did, after giving the album a middling review on its release. I'm speaking more about their dissonance in handling Daft Punk than the idea that Discovery is an unimpeachable album.
